ARKANSAS POST. 

( 'J'aken by Assault, January 11, 1863. 



By MRS. EVA F. BURT,* Mr. Gilead, Ohio. 



Fort Hindman was a massive fort — 
Three huudred feet in length. 

AVas built along the river side, 
Excelled in power and strength. 

With deep, wide ditch and parapets. 
And shells and cannon ball, 

And guns and powder magazines, 
The Union cause must fall. 



Our boys in blue espied this fort 

And its destructive power; 
Knew our own " Blue wing " had been robbed 

By rebels behind this tower. 

The transports, with their many brave, 

Landed our tried and true. 
The gun boats, on the river side. 

Filed in with boj's in blue. 

They battered 'gainst its great, strong wall 

From both sides of the fort. 
While regiments of infantry 

F'all in with dread report. 



Widow of Matthew H. Burt, Company E. 

166 



The 96th were in this fray, 

And, sad it is to tell, 
With all their glorious victory 

Was many a sad farew^ell. 

For many who hailed that Sabbath morn, 

And welcomed its sweet light, 
Were cold and still in death before 

The shadows of the night. 

A flag of truce was seen 'ere long ; 

Before the day was done 
The first great battle, many fought, 

Ended with victory won. 

In fort, the mangled, torn and dead; 

Outside, our heroes slain; 
While over all this doom and strife 

The stars and stripes remain. 

Great was the spoil, and great the gain. 

To Union cause that day; 
While, carefully and tenderly. 

They bear their dead away. 

Demolished, then, these massive walls; 

And prisoners, dressed in gray. 
Laid down their arms, with down-cast eyes. 

And silent moved away. 

And gentle moonbeams' silver light. 

With stars look pitying down, 
Will never leave, quite lonely now, 

These honored, little mounds. 

While raindrops weep our tears of love. 

Sweet birds sing our refraiu, 
Shall noble deeds of soldier boys 

Forever more remain.

SOFTLY TREAD, THIS GROUND IS HOLY. 

[Dedicated to ( )hio's patriot dead. For Memorial Day.] 



By N. D. WATKINS, Comi'any A, %th O. V. I. 



ODce again a weeping nation 

Kends above her heroes graves, 
While at half-mast see "old glory" 

As it .^lowly, sadly waves. 
Bands are playing, sad sweet music — 

Anthems solemn, dirges low — 
While around is heard the wailing 

Of bereaved ones in their woe. 

Softly tread, this ground is holy, 
Hallowed by our patriot dead ; 

O'er these graves, so green and lowly, 
Nature's floral tributes spread. 

Silent, now, is street and workshop; 

Silent, factory and mill ; 
All the busy marts of business 

Stand deserted, closed, and still. 
Busy only, hands of children. 

Gathering blossoms of the May — 
Binding into cross and garlands — 

Nature's off 'rings, for this day. 

[Softly tread, etc.] 
168 



See that little baud of veterans — 

War-worn remnants of that band — 
Who, at once, at country's peril, 

Sprang to save, at her command. 
Feeble, though, have grown their footsteps, 

Eyes all dim, and locks turned gray, 
Yearly, fail they not to honor. 

Fallen comrades, on this day. 

[Softly tread, etc.] 

Weary marches, nearly ended; 

Soon theyHl sleep beneath the clay; 
Dust with dust of comrades blended 

Dawns for them Memorial Day. 
Eyes, now dim, again will brighten, 

Weary feet renew their pace. 
And above, in glad reunion, 

They'll meet comrades face to face. 

Softly tread, this ground is holy, 
Hallowed by our patriot dead ; 

O'er these graves, so green and lowly, 
Nature's choicest tributes spread.

THE BOYS WE LEFT BEHIND US. 



By NATHANIEL D. WATKINS, Cu. A, 96th O. V. I. 



Old comrades of the Ninety -sixth — 

To all a hearty greeting; 
With fervent grasp each hand we clasp 

At this, our yearly meeting. 
We'll fight our battles o'er again, 

Though, sadly thej-'ll remind us 
Of many gallant, loyal men — 

The boys we left behind us. 

Scenes, long past, come fiitting fast 

O'er memory's magic mirror, 
And, half-forgotten faces grow 

Upon us, nearer, dearer. 
We see, again, the w^eeping friends 

As they, with tears, resigned us — 
We see, again, those absent boys — 

The boys we left behind us. 

We hear old songs — they're ringing still 

In memory, clear as ever — 
That echoed backward from the hill 

To our camp, beside the river. 
Privations, we in common shared. 

Still closer seems to bind us; 
The dangers we, together, dared 

With the boys we left behind us. 

170 



With joyous hearts we marched away — 

From off the field of battle — 
When war's fierce lightnings ceased to play, 

And hushed was the musket's rattle. 
Our homeward march, friends strewed with 
flowers ; 

Bright laurel wreaths they twined us, 
But still we sigh for those boys of ours — 

The boys we left behind us. 



Upon each year's Memorial Day 

We'll meet where some lie sleeping; 
Sweet flowers of May, on their graves we'll lay, 

And leave them to God's keeping. 
Sorrow alloys our social joys, 

And rising tears will blind us 
At thoughts of those poor absent boys — 

The boys we left behind us.

COMRADES OF THE 96th OHIO. 



In writing this sl^etch of my army life, I desire to say that 
I do so at the earnest request of our worthj' secretary, Robert 
F. Bartlett, who has so kindly undertaken the task of making 
out a new Eoster of the Regiment. I must of necessity be 
brief, so as not to encumber the Roster too much with that 
which will be of a personal character, consequently I will have 
to omit many incidents of my army life, both in the Mexican 
War and that of the Rebellion, to which I would be pleased to 
refer, if time and space would permit. 

It may not be out of place for me to refer briefly to my par- 
ents and to my early life previous to my entering into the 
service of my country in time of war. I was born October 18, 
1825, at Raymond, N. H. My father, John Brown, entered the 
volunteer service of the United States when but sixteen years 
of age, in the War of 1812, and was stationed at Portsmouth, 
N. H. My mother, Mary Wood, belonged to that large family 
of Woods that lived in and near the town of West Brookfield, 
Mass. The subject of this sketch while yet a child moved with 
his father's family to the vicinity of Gill, Mass., living there 
but a few years and then removing to Plunkett's cotton fac- 
tory, near South Adams, Mass. It was in this factory that I 
received my first lesson as a factory employe in the capacity of 
"bobbin boy," when in the ninth year of my age. I after- 
wards was employed in Jenks' factory, in the village of South 
Adams, Mass, and also in the "boys" factory at Stratford, 
Mass.; also in the Tremont and Caledonia Works at Hoosick 
Falls, N. Y., and lastly in the Harmony Mills, at Cohoes, N. Y. 

I came to Ohio in the spring of 1840, coming all the way 
from West Troy, N. Y., to Columbus, Ohio, by water, which 
consumed over six weeks of time and steady travel ; on the 
New York and Erie Canal from Troy to Butlalo, thence by 
steamer to Cleveland, thence by the Ohio Canal to Columbus, 

173 



Ohio, and settled iu Worthiiigton, ten miles from the city of 
Columbus, at that time, but now the village may be said to be 
a suburb of the Capital City. 

Having inherited a spirit of patriotism from my father, 
at the call of President Polk for volunteers for the Mexican 
War, I enlisted in the spring of 1846 for one year in Company 
C, 3d Regiment of Ohio foot volunteers, and served until the 
regiment was discharged in June, 1847. I was at that time a 
resident of Marion, Ohio. 

My Captain was Thomas H. Ford, who was at one time 
Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, and during the late Rel)ellion 
was Colonel of the 32d Ohio Volunteers, and gained an unen- 
viable reputation at the surrender of Harper's Ferry, on Sep- 
tember 15, 1862. My Colonel was Samuel R. Curtis, who, dur- 
ing the late war, was a Major General of Volunteers, and figured 
largely in the state of Missouri. 

When in 1846 my Regiment was on its way to Mexico, and 
encamped on the old battle ground below the city of New 
Orleans, I asked for and obtained permission from my officer to 
go to the city for the purpose of visiting the Slave Market, as 
conducted in that part of the South. The scenes witnessed 
there created in my mind a lasting hatred of human slaverj\ 
As I was standing there watching the sale of people nearly as 
white as myself, I made a solemn vow that if an opportunity 
was ever oftered me to assist iu wiping out that damnable insti- 
tution, I was ever ready with my talents, time, means, and if 
need be, my life, so on the 17th day of April, 1861, in response 
to President Lincoln's call for troops, I offered my services to 
the Governor of Ohio, with a company of one hundred men, 
who were mustered into the three months service, and then 
re-enlisted for three years on the 6th day of June, 1861, and 
was known as Company K, 4th Regiment, Ohio Volunteers, I 
having been in the meantime commissioned as its Captain. 

As soon as the regiment could be armed and equipped, it 
was sent into West Virginia as a part of the command of Gen- 
eral McClellan in his Rich INIountain Campaign. At the cap- 
ture of Romney, Va., by the troops under General Kelly, Com- 
pany K had the honor of leading the charge, not only to the 
bridge but up through the city. The next morning T was 
ordered to report to General Kelly as Provost ^Marshal, and my 
Company as Provost Guard, and assigned to quarters in the 
city. On account of the suffering of General Kelly from his 

174 



wounds which he received at the begin oing of the war, he 
was relieved from his command of the troops at and near Rom- 
ney, and General Lander was assigned to the command, which 
was afterwards known as Shields' Division. 

At the time General Lander took command of the troops 
at Romney, it was known that there was being collected a large 
force of rebels at a bridge on the road leading from Romney to 
Winchester, and also a force up the Morefield Valley, with 
the intention of throwing a portion of the troops between Rom- 
ney and the B. & O. R. R., with the expectation of capturing 
the troops that were stationed at Romney. The War Depart- 
ment at Washington was fully advised of the fact when Gen- 
eral Lander was assigned to that part of the army. 

The next morning after the General arrived I was sum- 
moned to headquarters, and in company with the balance of 
his staff officers, he laid before us, as far as it was prudent for 
him, his plan of evacuating Romney, and concentrating the 
entire command at some point on the B. & O. R. R. without 
uncovering that road to any great extent. It would be very 
imprudent for me in a sketch of this kind to occupy space 
sufficient to give a detailed account of that evacuation. Suffice 
it to say, that in the movement my Company was assigned to 
the rear of the column to cover the retreat — a post of honor 
under the circumstances. 

It will be remembered that the troops moved out of Rom- 
ney during the night, and my orders were to remain in the 
city until the telegraph operator had sent off all of his dis- 
patches, and then remove the instrument and wire and try to 
reach the command by the time the rear of the column had 
crossed the iron bridge on the road leading to the mouth of 
Patterson's creek, at which point the troops would gather. I 
wish to note the fact that this march was a very difficult one 
to make, and execute strictly the orders of General Lander. 
The entire distance was made during a very severe rainstorm, 
and as the company reached the east end of the bridge referred 
to above, the rebel cavalry came in sight, but not until every- 
thing connected with the command had been safely landed on 
the east bank of the river and out of the enemy's reach. 

Among my effects I find a commendatory order of Gen- 
eral Lander for the able manner in which myself and com- 
pany performed the difficult duties assigned us. It will be 
remembered that at the death of General Lander, General 

175 



James Shields was assigned to the eoraniaud of that division, 
and while it occupied Winchester, Virginia, I was again de- 
tailed as Provost Marshal and ordered on duty in the city. 

There are many incidents connected with my service as 
Provost ISIarshal of Winchester that would probably interest 
my army associates, but space is too limited to insert them in 
this article. During the time that I served on the staff of 
(ieneral Shields as Provost Marshal, the battle of Kerustown 
was fought between General Shields' division and the troops 
under the command of Stonewall Jackson, and victory won by 
the Union troops. I spent nearl^^ the entire day ( Sunday ) on 
the field where that battle was fought, and was a close observer 
ol the movements of the two armies, especiallj' at the time 
when the engagement proper was in progress. Not having a 
command to claim my immediate attention, I believe I saw 
as much, if not more, of that engagement than many who have 
written at length concerning that battle. I remained on the 
field till the last charge was made and the last gun was fired, 
and then rode back to Winchester to make the necessary pro- 
vision for the care and comfort of the wounded of both armies. 

It is like reading fiction for me to read the otficial report 
of that engagement. Especially is it so in reference to the first 
report that bears the signature of General Shields, and not his 
supplemental report. 

Early the next morning after the battle, and whilst seated 
at the table in my otfice making out the necessary details and 
reports, I was surprised to have come into my office a daughter 
of General Taylor, ex-President of the United States, and a 
commander whom I had served under during the Mexican 
War. My interview with ^Mrs. D. was not a very pleasant 
one, as she was not in a frame of mind to talk very pleasantly 
with a yankee officer who had served in the army under her 
father, and had come into the South to slaughter her people 
and friends. Her husband was an officer in one of the regi- 
ments engaged at Kearnstown the day before this interview. 

I have stated above that this interview was not a very 
pleasant affair, and yet, comparatively speaking, it was, when 
taken in connection with my interview a few days afterwards 
with the notorious Belle Boyd, when she applied to me for a 
pass to go outside of the Union lines. 

The next day after the l)attle, T had the Provost Guard 
bring to my office every able bodied nuile citizen of Win- 

17(i 



cheater, for the purpose of interriug the rebel dead left on the 
field of battle. In two long trenches on the hill, between and 
overlooking Winchester and Kernstown, I caused to be buried 
eighty-four of the killed of Jackson's Army. This number 
corresponds exactly with the official report of General Jackson 
made to the rebel government at Richmond, Va., which T 
believe to be correct, although the number is much smaller 
than given by General Shields and his staff, excepting my 
report made the day after the burial. 

The final sickness of my companion necessitated mj^ pres- 
ence at home, for a short time at least. Having forwarded a 
number of applications for leave of absence, and all being 
returned to me disapproved, I asked and obtained twenty- 
four hours' leave and went to Washington and tendered my 
resignation in person to the Adjutant General of the Army, 
and it was accepted, much to my relief and satisfaction. 

Three days after the burial of my companion I was again 
in the service as Lieutenant Colonel 96th Ohio. My army life 
while a member of this regiment is about as familiar to those 
who belonged to the organization as to myself. Many of you 
at this time can remind me of incidents which I was associated 
with that had long since passed out of my recollection, conse- 
quently I shall write but little concerning my service as a 
member of the 96th Ohio. 

It was not my fortune to be your commander when the 
regiment first took the field, and probably it was best that I 
was second in command. Be that as it may, it was so ordered 
by those high in authority. 

What further space I shall consume in this article will be 
devoted, or nearly so, to the expedition which deprived us of our 
Colonel, J. W. Vance. I approach this subject with a great 
deal of reluctance, I assure you, for it is anything but a pleasant 
one to me when I think for a moment of the dreadful results of 
that campaign — an expedition that ought to have been victo- 
rious in every sense and yet resulted in an ignominious defeat ; 
not from a want of bravery on the part of the rank and file of 
the army, but for the want of a proper leader, or I might say, 
commander. 

The first question that presents itself in reference to that 
campaign is, what was the object of that terrible expedition? 
The declared object was the capture and occupancy of Shreve- 
port, La., Ixit the ostensible object was to release a large amount 

177 



of cotton held up iu that section of the confederacy. The whole 
raovement indicated clearly that the commander and his 
immediate associates cared more for the cotton than they did 
for the lives of the men composing the command. 8ui)pose we 
had captured Shreveport, what then? Does any person siip- 
l)Ose that we could have held the place, or even held open our 
line of communication, with 80,(100 armed rebels west of the 
j\[ississippi river and with a disloyal population and roving 
bauds of guerrillas all over the country ? Not much. 

it is a matter of history and known to every reading man 
that General Grant was not in favor of this Red River expedi- 
tion, and in his final instruction to General Banks he says, on 
March 31 : '' It is intended that your movements shall be 
co-operative with movements elsewhere, and you cannot start 
too soon. All I would now add is that you commence the con- 
centration of your forces at once. Preserve a profound secrecy 
of what you intend doing and start at the earliest possible 
moment." 

Now, it is known by everybody in any way connected with 
that expedition that there was scarcely a person in the city of 
New Orleans, or in any of the river towns but what knew of this 
movement, and it was in reality discussed nearly everywhere 
in that section of the country long before the army entered on 
its march for the Red River country. 

Of course, that gave the Rebel otilcers ample time to con- 
centrate a large army out of the 80,000 soldiers west of the 
Mississippi river. That expedition could in no way contribute 
to the suppression of the Rebellion. The Rebel army in the 
Trans-Mississippi Department were dormant; it made no move 
only to counteract one being made by the Union forces, except 
a few roving bands that sometimes tired on our transports as 
they passed up and down the rivers of that country. AVhatdid 
the burning of a few steanil)oats amount to in comparison with 
the great loss of life in that campaign? saying nothing about 
the loss of war material. 

But how difterent the results in our next expedition — our 
movement on the city of Mobile, Alabama. The capture of 
that city and its strongholds hastened the downfall ot the Con- 
federacy, and this was accomplished with a very small loss of 
life 

A word in reference to our lamented Colonel, and 1 am 
through. It was known to the entire command that he was 

178 



aoxious for promotion. His great ambition was to wear the 
star of a Brigadier — a wortliy ambition for any American citizen. 
In order to gain so glorious a result he lost his life at the post 
of honor in the performance of his duty by the bloody-stained 
hand of treason. ( O, how I do hate that word and all that it 
implies. ) It is for having thus died that he deserves and 
should hold a place in the memory of the survivors of the 
regiment of which he was so proud in being its commander. 
Peace to his ashes, and may the memory of him ever be bright. 
Of myself, I will only say, that my association with the 
regiment was a very pleasant one, indeed, in comparison with 
other regimental commanders, made so by the gentlemanly 
treatment of the rank and file of that command. What little 
reputation I may have gained as a field officer I owe to the men 
of the 96th Ohio Regiment, for which I shall ever be grateful.
